Good mercy I went to my shoulder Doctor with my shoulder problems and he cannot do anything with the right one that has had a Total Replacement.The left one has Arthritis big time.So just started injections .However there is still a small chance I can still detect with a small metal detector :clapping: .Hmmm, Do not need any expensive detector so I have been looking for a reasonable one that still has basic batteries(AA).Well,I hit up on a Cherry AT-PRO that was bought from KELLEY CO. The price was very reasonable .Suppose to be mail to me this a.m.
iTS being mail from the East coast hope it not coming Camel Express:look:. I have a question from what I seen what is the "Best Set Up'' to start with? i do not think it comes with All Metal ?
 
Great machine. Ya know, I get wrapped up in the hype a lot on the newer machines out. I buy one, go out and find a few mercs, wheats and maybe some bling..then I get a At pro, mxt etc, go out and find a few mercs,wheats and some bling.. I prefer the older tek myself, I find just as much and I’m not toggling through endless menus.. congrats on your new rig

Is that ATP going to be lite enough with your shoulder's being injured, for me personally I found the ATP to be the most uncomfortable detector I ever had the displeasure of swinging, ergonomically it was terrible for me, I also found that because of how uncomfortable it was ergonomically it felt heavy to me

I would have opted for a good old beep and dig like a Tesoro Vaquero, Tejon, or something similar like a Troy Shadow X5 all three very lite and very capable detectors, weight wise those three detectors are not much heavier than a XP ORX

Good luck with your shoulder recovery
 
Congrats on your purchase. I hope the AT works out for you but I too wonder about the weight. I also love beep n digs but they’re not the easiest to cherry pick if you’re hurting and don’t want to dig a lot. I would have recommended an X10 pro. Only 1 oz heavier than a Deus and I believe it to be better than an AT. Another bonus is it’s less than half the price. Something to consider if the AT hurts your shoulder.

Well,only time will tell one thing for sure The GARRETT Co. is only 100 miles or less from me. The batteries are a lot easier to deal with and real simple to use. If any problems pop up it is so much closer. Thank you for information .Remember I am 83 :eek: :yikes:HA,HA,HA.

Well ,injections not working as well I would think.So, looks like therapy on the shoulder will be next. Hmmm,you were right,about the weight. I got the pristine AT PRO detector in super shape looks like the buyer who was 86 did not use it?However its a 3 pounder so I shorten the rod and it help it . Got a pointer,digging tool, hand scoop from kelleyco.Had not had the chance to use it.GOOD MERCY just found out the hernia which I had operated 8 months ago,has gone BAD and will have to set up a date for this one.At 83 going into my 16 surgery :eek: :wacko:.I am packing my bags and running away from home.:sick::ban:

Man that sucks, but I had a feeling that ATP would seem heavy to you and with your shoulder issues I was afraid you would not be satisfied sorry to hear that

Man my body at 65 is already telling me its getting close to time to hang it up, stupid things I done in my younger years and just plain stubbornness has taken its toll on me, then a car wreck that broke my back back in the 90s is starting to make things bad also two torn rotator cuffs that I never had fixed, its all catching up, I figure I have maybe 2-3 more years and I will be done detecting altogether

I'm trying but its getting to where the body isn't willing, I do go out and Nugget detect as often as I can, but I dig 1-4 targets and end up having to set down for an hour then dig 3 or 4 more targets and sit another hour, and its not the heat here in Arizona because where I live and detect the temps are in the 70s to 90s so its perfect detecting weather here
